Chapter 6

Discovering your first dApps

One Blurt account can open many compatible experiences. Choose the interface that fits what you want to do, keep the same on-chain identity and use only the authority each action requires.

Blurtie presents one central Blurt account connected to six dApp portals for blogging, microblogging, forums, video, wallet actions and blockchain exploration.

One account, many doors

Blurt dApps are applications and websites built around the same public blockchain. They can present different feeds, editors and tools while reading the same Blurt accounts and on-chain activity.

You do not create a new Blurt identity for each compatible dApp. Your account name, public authorities and blockchain balances remain attached to the same account.

One identity

Your Blurt account name identifies you across compatible social, wallet and exploration interfaces.

Shared blockchain

On-chain publications and account operations can be read by multiple apps, each with its own presentation.

Different experiences

Each dApp chooses its design, discovery features, notifications and additional services.

Choose your social experience

Start with the format that feels natural to you: long articles, short updates, forum discussions or video. Content published on-chain through these apps becomes visible across the shared Blurt blockchain.

Manage and verify your account

Wallet and utility interfaces help you manage balances and account actions, while explorers let you inspect public blocks, transactions, operations and account history without signing in.

What follows you between dApps?

The blockchain provides a common source of truth, but every interface can also keep features that exist only inside that application.

Shared on-chain

Posts, comments, content votes, balances and account authorities recorded on Blurt can be read by compatible applications.

Specific to each app

Drafts, display preferences, local bookmarks, notification settings and cached feeds are not automatically shared between dApps.

Connect with the right authority

First decide what the application needs to do. Reading public information and signing an operation are separate capabilities.

Read without signing
Public posts, profiles, balances, blocks and transactions can be explored without entering a private key.
Social actions
Use Posting authority for publishing, commenting and content votes in a trusted social dApp.
Wallet actions
Use Active authority only when a trusted interface prepares a transfer, Power Up, Power Down, savings, delegation or another Active-level operation.

A simple first tour

You can discover the ecosystem gradually. Each step builds on the account knowledge from the previous chapters.

  1. 1Browse several posts or communities on Blurt Blog or BeBlurt and notice how each interface presents the same network differently.
  2. 2Use Posting authority or a compatible signer to leave a thoughtful comment or vote for content you appreciate.
  3. 3Search your account in Blurt Explorer or BlurtScan and find the public operation you just broadcast.
  4. 4Try Twiggy for short updates, BlurtForum for community discussions or Blurt Media for video, then return to the wallet to follow your rewards.
